Page-Four Get up get out9 IE Vj Spring has sprung fall has fell etc. While the remaining lines of this somewhat dubious bit of poetry shall remain unseen it does serve the purpose of bringing out a pertinent point. Warm weather accompanied by extended hours of daylight in the afternoons has arrived in this area. Everywhere the first signs of spring are beginning to crop up—flowers blooming birds singing grass growing lawn mowers roaring and brows furrowing at the thought of mowing the lawn. And somewhere in this land a bear is breaking the bondage of hibernation and preparing for his/her debut with the outside world many for the first time. Hibernation appears to be a problem in the human populous also. Admittedly we do not have many if any of the furry beasts running around on post but Ft. Hood does have its own kind of hibernating .• animal and for many of these animals the hiber- nation period lasts year-round. The animals to which we refer of course are the soldiers who followin...

Page Ten By JERRY REED Sports Editor Hurricanes are named after women because they are so unpredictable. Well that’s what they say anyhow. George I do have it Alright now over just a little Oh no I can ’t believe that Photos by Bobby Bolden Such was the case at the opening day ceremonies of the Ft. Hood Women’s Invitational Bowling Tour- nament held at Bowlers Green last Monday morning. The ladies were perfectly cast in their roles as athletes and they were indeed unpredictable. The moral of the story: If the shoe fits wear it. Yes predicting what the participants would do next was harder than guessing how many jelly beans there are in an eight ounce jar. Even a Ouija Board would have been useless. For the most part the gals had the spectators baf- fled during the tournam ent. Only the lighted scoreboard above the lanes gave the true indication of what was actually taking place. The women’s expressions varied from complete bliss to total depression.

Friday March 22 1974 The other guy By JERRY REED Any week now you may come in from around of golf at your local club and find someone smiling. At that moment you’ll know that it finally happened. You knew that it was going to happen sooner or later but you’re still shocked. I guess that one colum- nist put it best when he said “one penny two penny it seems as if everyone is putting in their two cents worth” referring to the big event. The big event being of course the day that Hank Aaron surpasses Babe Ruth for the title of “Sultan Of Swat”. Everybody knows that it will eventually take place. People further realize that “Hammerin’ Hank” will go down in history. He will get all the publicity and that’s the way it should be. There’s one little thing that people are overlooking the guy that delivers that special pitch will also go down in history. Yes he’ll join such names as A1 Giofriddo Ralph Branca and Tracy Stallard. The sad part about it all is that that particular pit- cher will ...
